They're not gonna give up a annual home date for a home and home with UT.

Big 12 is with Fox even though the Longhorn Network is ESPN.Theyd have to secure a network for home games and SEC and BIG already have deals in place with ABC and ESPN

Not saying it's impossible but logistics and scheduling could get sticky.Not sure OU would jump at the chance to play em after they ditched the Big 12.

Not sure why you think it would be an issue for them to stay with ESPN and potentially have some games on ABC. ESPN would be thrilled to be able to put big time games on LHN and would probably give them a similar (more lucrative) deal to what they gave BYU (part of which was setting up a 6 game series with Notre Dame).
